Teriyaki is a common base sauce for stir-fries, and it’s super easy to put together:
Basic Recipe
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp brown sugar or agave nectar
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup scallions, minced (optional)
Combine ingredients in a saucepan, heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Simple Variations
- Add extra sugar for more sweetness
- Fresh hot peppers bring an added spice
- Add a splash of rice vinegar for more bite
- Cook down for a thicker drizzle
Ways to Use It
Because Teriyaki is a looser sauce than some of the others, it can coat noodles and top salads:
- Stir fry whatever vegetables to you have in the fridge and pour over rice
- Marinate tempeh, vegetables, or tofu in the sauce overnight and throw on the grill
- Toss with a noodle bowl
- Use as a salad dressing for an Asian salad
